Pittsburgh at Nashville

Premium Pick

Pittsburgh is up 2-0 in the series despite being outshot by a whopping 64-39 count. The Penguins only had 12 shots on goal in the first game. That's not from being conservative, it's because this Nashville defense is talented and skilled. The main reason why Nashville is down is that goalie Pekka Rinne had two terrible games at Pittsburgh. The three-time Vezina Trophy finalist had been sensational in the playoffs, but coming home to Bridgestone Arena will help as Rinne is 7-1 in these playoffs at home with a 1.54 goals-against average and a .947 save percentage. Nashville is on a 19-7 run at home, including an 11-1 run at home in the postseason. The loud sellout crowd will do wonders for a Nashville team that has played far better against Pittsburgh than the scoreboard suggests. Take Nashville.
